Breaking: ROBOCOP star Joel Kinnaman has replaced Tom Hardy as Rick Flagg in SUICIDE SQUAD, which will be directed by David Ayer. Hardy dropped out of the DC Comics adaptation a couple of weeks ago due to scheduling conflicts with Alejandro González Iñárritu’s THE REVENANT and duties on the MAD MAX: FURY ROAD press tour.
Kinnaman is best known for his work in the ROBOCOP remake from last year, but his body of work is vast with sensational work on other projects such as The Killing, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO and the EASY MONEY trilogy.
Kinnaman joins an impressive cast in SUICIDE SQUAD, with Will Smith appearing as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, and Jared Leto as the Joker.
Shooting kicks off soon for an August 5, 2016 release.
